PREFACE.

Thksb are few subjecta of greater value, or of more intereat to the
diligeot inquirer into the early history of our country, than that of Seals.
This, indeed, is readily admitted by all who hare paid the least attentioa to
&e subject ; while the best historical works afford evidence that Seals form
no unimportant element in archieological research. The importance of the
subject being so generally acknowledged, renders it unnecessary to offer
any lengthened introductory remarks with a view to direct attention to the
following pages.

It is hoped, however, that the following brief remarks illustrating the
u-t may not be considered impertinent or out of place, and though they may
contain nothing worthy the attention of such persons whose opportunities
of acquiriog knowledge have been more favourable than those of the writer,
they may yet be read with interest by others who have not paid much
attention to it, and may also prove interesting as being the result of the
writer's own observations on a subject, the proper treatment of which
requires far higher qualifications than he can pretend to claun.

The art of engraving Gems or Seals is one that claims the highest
antiquity ; and there is abundant evidence that it was known and practised
by nations long previous to the period of which we have now any written
records. Not only do the numerous gems of the most remote antiquity
found in India and Egypt prove this, but we have the unshaken authority of
the Holy Scriptures, an authority which it is delightful to see is being
strengthened daily, by the discoveries made by the intelligent and perse-

verug Lajard, of races and nations whose very existence and names had
welhiigh been forgotten.

It is unnecessary to dwell longer on the art as practised in India and
Egypt, than merely to observe that it was evidently held in esteem and
importance by the natives of those countries, and arrived at the same degree
of perfection with the sister arts of sculpture, painting, and architecture,
which, judged by the standard of excellence of modem times, may perhaps
be thought defective, yet in their kind were certainly excellent

It was in Qreec^ in common with all that was beautiful in art, that
Gem or Seal engraving attained its highest perfection ; but as the Roman
power eztendecf its possessionB and influence, l^e practice of the art was
transferred from Greece to the West, and under the Empire we find many
works produced equalling in excellence those of the Greek artists. With
the decline and fell of the Empire the art suffered also, and though never
lost, it lingered on almost in barbarity, till in the general revival of letters and
art under the magnificent family of the De Medici, it again rose to perfection,
and many works were produced that will bear an honourable comparison
with the ancient Masters. These remarks, though perhaps not bearing
directly on the particular kind of Seals described in this work, may yet not
be unnecessaiy as pointing out the source, and tracing the progress of the
art to the period embraced in it.

It is yet undecided at what period the engraving of Metal Seals, to
which we are now to confine our attention, was invented, or rather when
they became more generally adopted, since it cannot be doubted that the
ancients were acquainted vrith the art of engraviiig on metals; the
beautiful coins, both of Greece and Some, are sufficient evidences of the fact,
but it does not appear that they extended the practice of it beyond en-
graving the die for striking the coin. It seems most probable that the
application and extension of the art to Metal Seals may date from a period
subsequent to the fall of the Roman Empire, and in the rising kingdom
of the Franks ; or it may, as some believe, have arisen at Constantinople,
and thence been early adopted by the Pranks; but at whatever period

PREFACE. xiii

or place such Seals may have become generally adopted, there can be no
doubt that &om the sixth, and during the following centuries, their use
became very extensiTely spread through the continental kingdoms of the
north, and, doubtlesa, the adjacent islands adopted the art and use of Seals
not very long thereafter. Leaving untouched the question regarding the
ise of Seals by the Saxony we will now confine our remarks to the Seals
immediately connected with Scotland.

The earliest Seal of that country yet met wit^ is of Duncan II., in the
latter part of the eleventh century. The twelfth furnishes us with many
interesting specimens both of the Ecclesiastical Seals and of those of the
Nobility and Gentry ; and though those of the earlier period may seem
rudely executed, yet we feel assured, that could perfect impressions of them
be obtained, they would be found not deficient in a certain degree of merit
and proficiency, sufficient at least to prore that the Art must h&re been
practised a long time previous to that of which we have now any examples.
From the time of Duncan, a.d. 1094, we have an uninterrupted succession
of the Great Seals of the Kingdom, all executed in a manner that shovrs
the excellence to which the art had arrived at the respective periods ; and,
perhaps, on these Seals may be best observed the progressive changes in
the armour of the Enight In the earlier ones are specimens of the Flat-
Bing, Trellised or Mascled, and Chain Mail, wbidi are gradually superseded
by Plate tUl the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when the whole defensive
armour is of Plate, with its ntmierous additions &bricated in the most
elegant and costly style. (See Nos. 1, 3, 11, 13, 19, 27, 33, 39, 67, 72.)

The Se^ of the Nobility and others of the twelfth and thirteenth cen-
turies, also afford intereeting specimens of the different kinds of armour ;
but it is not thought necessary to make particular reference to the numbers
where they occur.

During the thirteenth century, the Seals become mora numerous and of
a greatly improved style. The Great Seal of Alexander III., (Nos. 13, 14,)
and those of the Ecclesiastics and Nobles of the same period, are exceedingly
beautiful, and executed with a taste and truth of detail that would do no

discredit to modem art This century also furnishes many and valuable
illustratiOQS of the practice and definitive principles of heraldry. The
devices upon the Seals of the preceding century, though they cannot be
considered as heraldic, certainly contained the elements of tiie science'; thus
the fleur-de-lis on the Seal of John Montgomerie, (So. 590,) afterwards be-
came, with two additional ones, the proper heraldic bearing of the fiimily, and
has so continued to adorn their escutcheon unchanged for nearly eight
centuries. Other instances will be found in the following Catalogue that will
readily suggest themselves to the observant reader.

During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the art continued to
maintain its excellence, which is particularly apparent in the Seals of the
Douglasses, the Lindsays, and other magnates of the country ; but towards
the latter part of the fifteenth century, the art began to decline, and during
the following one, few appear that can be compared as works of art with
those of an earlier time.

The Ecclesiastical Seals of the thirteenth and two following centuries,
afford most interesting specimens of the costume of the different orders in the
Church. The Bishops are exhibited as vested in t^e chasuble, amice, alb, stole,
maniple ; and the pall seems represented on one, (No. 856, and perhaps
also on No. 939,) though not an Archbishop, yet perhajK as Primate of
Scotland. On the Monastic Seals also, or indeed wherever a- figure of an.
Abbot or Priest appears, may be observed the same propriety of costume.
(See Nos. 863, 903. 939, 942, 946, 948, 969, 1005, 1006, 1067.)

A bout the latter end of the fourteenth century, the design of the Episco-
pal Seals was changed by substituting for the simple figure of the Bishop,
which had hitherto been the usual doaiga, either a representation of the
Trinity, the Virgin, or the patron saint, within a niche or beneath a canopy.

The rich architectural design of these Seals cannot fail to excite at-
tention as valuable illustrations of the art. Indeed from these Seals alone,
might be almost distinctly traced the rise, progress, and decline of that
beautiful style of architecture which prevailed during that period. Very
instructive examples of this may'be seen in Nos. 870, 872, 877.

PREFACE. XT

But the chief value of such a collection as the fbUowing pages describe,
will of course be found to consist in the many important illustrations it affords
of heraldry, of which, in frequent instances, it may be said to be the eariiest,
if not the only authentic record.

When it is considered that very few and scanty heraldic records of any
kind are preserved in this country, and these only of a very late period.
Sir David Lindsay's work in 1542, being, it is believed, the earliest of the
kind extant, it becomes obvious that such a record of arms as the present
work must be of great value.

It would &r exceed the proper limits of these remarks, to point out
the numerous instances which might materially assist in correcting many
mis-statements and erroneous blazon, which either through ignorance or
iaadvertoDcy, have found a place in several valuable works on Heraldry.
One or two instances only will be referred to as an evidence of the utility of
the present work Sir James Balfour and other authors have stated, that
the Merchiston family of Napier assumed their arms upon the marriage of
John Napier with Elizabeth Menteith, the heiress of Rusky, and co-heiress
of Lennox, after the year 1455. The Seal, No. 621, A.D. 1453, is sufficient
proof that the Napier &mily carried those arms previous to the marriage.

The same respectable authorities also state,' that the old Earls of
Lennox bore a saltire engraUed cantoned with four roses. In this collection
are four (Nos. 489, 491, 492, 493) most interesting and perfect Seals of
this noble family, and in all of them the saltire is carried without any en-
grailing. Neither is it carried engrailed by the Stuarts, when they succeeded
to the title of Earl of Lennox, until about 1576. (See No. 804.)

The well known crest of the noble house of Hamilton, which com-
memorates a very doubtful tradition, will be found to be very different from
the crest on the Seal used by the chief of that &.mily in i.D. 1388, and
who, moreover, was the first of the chief line that assumed the name, (No.
400 ;) though it should be observed the Earl of Arran in a.d. 1549, (No.
404,) carried the present crest.

Mistakes have also been made by modem heralds in the supporters.

Thus they have made the sapporters of the arms of Maxwell of Folloc,
two monkeys, -while upon the Seal No. 574, a.d. 1400, tbej are undoubtedly
lions; and -with great propriety the present Baronet has dismissed the
monkeys, and resumed the noble animals adopted by hi» ancestors.
These are only a few instances of the use of ancient Seals, many others
will be found by the careful observer.

The custom of placing tiie crest' above the shield, seems to have been
introduced about the middle of the fourteenth century. The earUest in-
stance in this Collection is No. 237, a.d. 1356, a period rather earlier than
that when it is supposed the same custom was first introduced into Eng-
land. Supporters seem also to have been introduced about this period, and
the same Seal, No. 237, which gives the date of the one custom, supplies us
also with the date of the other. There are certainly earlier instances where
the shield is placed on the breast of an eagle, or where lizards and other
animals are placed at the sides and top of the shield, (See Nos. 375, 785 ;)
and there is the well known Seal of Muriel of Stratheme, (No. 764,) cited
by some writers as an example of an early supporter ; but none of them can
properly be considered such, being introduced merely to filt up the vacant
spaces of the Seal, from which practice, indeed, some have stated sup-
porters to derive their origin.

The Privy Se^ of James I., a.h. 1 429, (No. 43,) is the earliest instance
of the National Arms having supporters, and these it will be seen are lions ;
the unicorns do not make their appearance before the reign of Mary, whose
Great Seal, Na 59, first brings us acquainted with thent

The examples of composed arms, (Nos. 768 and 1241,) ai'e interesting
illustrations of the practice before the present system of marshalling was
adopted. Nos. 205 and 231 are the earliest examples of impaling ; and No.
496 gives the first and finest example of quartered arms, a.d. 1367.

Though well known to all acquainted with heraldry, it may be neces-
saiy to mention that the usefiil system of indicating colour by certain lines
and marks was not adopted till a late period ; any attempt, therefore, to
give the proper tinctures of the arms blazoned in this work could only

considered better not to give any tincture, eren in comparatiTelj modern
and vell-^own inatancea

A few remarks may here be offered on the shape of the shield, which
has varied considerably at different periods. In the earUest will be fbimd
the narrow kite-shaped shield of the Konnans, which prevailed with some
modification, tending rather to the pear-shape, till about the middle of the
thirteenth century, when the shield very generally became of that ele-
gimt form known by the name heater-shape, a form well adapted for dis-
playing with grace and distinctness — a most essential matter in heraldry —
the charges which the science, then becoming practised on more definite
principles, rendered Qeceasary. This shape continued to prevail during the
two following centuries, with some variations however having a tendency to
increase its breadth rather disproportionally . During the sixteenth century,
in common with all that was elegant in the arts, the shield suffered many
ohaoges of form by do means adding to its beauty or usefulness. The most
fantastic and ill-couceived forms were used, many such will be found in this
Collection, though special reference to them has not been made in the de-
scription.

Xhe lozenge-shape, pertiaps the worst that could be conceived for
the purpose of displaying armorial charges, has been imperatively as-
signed as the only proper shape which ladies should carry ; but it seems
remaritable that in the long period embraced in this Collection, including
the best periods of heraldry, in which occur numerous instances of arms
carried by females, but in no one instance does the shield take any other
form than the prevailing one of the period. In England, as early as the
fourteenth century, the lozenge-sbape appears to have been used by ladies,
(perhaps exclusively in their widowhood,) but it certainly is singular that
no instance of that shape has been met with here until a very recent period,
and, considering how very unsuitable such a shape is for the purpose, per-
haps the sooner it is discontinued the better. Equally unsuitable is the
Absurd fashion which has tod extensively prevailed in modem times, of

baring angular projectiDg points at the upper pArt ; it is, hoverer, pleasing
to obeerre at the present time a return to the el^;aDt form of eariier ages.

The subject of the mottoes ami devices cannot be passed unnoticed. It
is of considerable interest, well deaerring the attention of the archteologist,
for as such Seals were probably intended not for official or public purposes,
but for private and confidential intercourse, they become valuable and in-
teresting evidences of individual taste, or of the feelings or sentiments pre-
valent at the time. Thus, the very early seal of Thor Longns, (eleventh
century, of which unfortunately there is no impression in this Collection,)
having the motto, " thor me mittit amico," and the Seals of the Dunbars,
(Nos. 287-293,) are pretty examples of individual fiiendly intercourae, and
even the more tender sentiment is observable on those of the latter. The
very pretty Seal of Alexander HI., (No. 15,) "bsto peddrnb ot berpbhs
ST siHPUU BICOT coLVHBA," may Well indicate the prudent policy of that
able monarch.

The mottoes on the Ecclesiastical Seals (in which class they are found
more numerous) are, as might be expected, of a devotional character ; and
though, in some instances, they may perhaps be adverse to the feeling of the
present age, there are few which, if considered rightly, would not afford in-
struction and delight ; certainly they are all expressive of a deep devotional
feeling that demands respect.

In some instances but little attention seems to have been paid in adapt-
ing the motto to the device. It would seem as if an antique gem were almost
capriciously taken, and a motto engraved around, not having the least appa-
rent connexion or reference to the device ; hence some strange diBcrepandea
arise. We have lately seen one of this description irom a collection in
England, which has the design of a young faun attending with the wine-
cup upon Baoohus, and the motto aurroimding it is " jbsds bst ahob kbits,"
(Jesus is my love.) In other instances the device and motto is most ap-
propriate, and prodnce a pleasing and striking effect. The Seal of Brian
Fitzalan, (No. 336,) is of this description. Also one from the collection of
Albert Way, Esq., deserves particular mention : — a figure of a priest conse-

crating the chalice, of course to be understood aa emblematie of that Divine
work of loTe hj which alone eternal peace can be obtained, and the motto,
" CBSDE IDCHI BT EST BATis," {Beheve in me, and it is sufficient)

These examples are suffldent to show that mottoes were generally in
use from the earliest period ; but mottoes as fonning part of the accessories
of arms are supposed not to hare a very early origin ; rery few such occur
in this collection, and those not earlier than the sixteenth century.- The
Seal of Margaret, Queen of James IV., a.d. 1526, (No. 55,) has tiie motto
on a scroll beneath the shield ; and the Great SeaJ of Queen Maiy,
No. 59, is the first of that kind which has on it a motto instead of
merely the name and style. Yet it cannot be doubted that mottoes were
used (as part of accessories) at a much earlier period, and there is certainly
one, though it has not been read, on the Seal of Archibald Douglas, Lord
of Galloway, as early as a.d. 1373, (No. 239.)

It may well be feared that these remarks are extending to an unreason-
able length ; yet it is hoped the indulgence of the reader will be granted
while a few words on the material of the Seal, the shape, and t^e method of
cutting it, Sec., will bring this Address to a dose.

The earUest mention of Seals in the Scriptures is under the general
term of signet or rings, which conveys no information as to the material
of which they were composed ; but at a later period where they are men-
tioned in connexion with the gems adorning the breastplate of the High
Priest, there appears pretty certain evidence for believing that these signets
or rings were engraved gems set in gold or other metal

There seems httle doubt that the original matrices of the Seals described
in this work have been entirely formed of metal. Of the few remaining
specimens still preserved in the cabinets of various collectors, they are for
the most part formed of brass, some are of silver, and one instance (No.
44) at least supplies a fine specimen of a gold matrix. No matrices of a
very early date have been preserved, none indeed, it is believed, previous to
the fourteenth century, unless we except those interesting gems in a metal
setting which are met with about the eleventh and twelfth centuries, of whidi

it is beliered there are good specimens in Bablio. The occurreDce of these
gema on the Seals of our early Barons is an interesting subject for inquiry.
As they are found pretty numerous on the Seals of the De Vescis and Uie
Arenets, we may suppose these warlike Knights to liave been collectors, and
to have formed a cabinet during their crasading expedition, of which perhaps
it was the best fruits. They are pleasing evidences of a desire for refine-
ment which the possession of such luxuries of art always inspire.

The Seats of the Nobihty and Gentry present little variation from the
circuIaKihape ; occasionally in the eai-Iier periods we find some of an
oral, and more rarely the triimgular or same shape as the shield. On the
other hand the Ecclesiastical class presents httle variation from that pointed
oval-shape known as the Vesica Piacis, and which seems to have been almost
exclusively appropriated to the Seals of Ecclesiastical persona and Iji-
stitutions, at least from the twelfth century.

This form is supposed to have some symbolical signification, and it may
not unnaturally be supposed to represent the Church. For as the two urcles,
the intersection of which gives this figure, may symbolically represent the
circles of time and eternity, so the figure given, may well represent the
Churdi, where in a peculiar manner are united the affairs of time with the
more important afiairs of eternity ; or in other words, the Church in t^e
faithful dischai^ of its duties, forms, as it were, a connecting link or in-
troductory passage, — a resting-place where, though within the circle of
time and still militant, may yet be met and enjoyed in some slight degree
the blessings of eternity.

The method of engraving or cutting these Seals was entirely by the
hand, with the aid of small chisels and suitable punches of hardened steel,
much in the same manner as the dies for striking coins or medals are
executed. The letters of the inscription round the Seal, some of which are
very beautifiil, have most probably been struck in from steel punches, but
in the majority of cases, they have evidently been cut with the hand.

The method of engraving gems or precious stones for Seals is effected
by quite a different mechanical process, being accomplished by means of

, Google

PREFACE. xxt

small tools of soft iron fixed iu a lathe, which is kept in motion bj tiie foot
of the engraver, in the same vay as the ordin^T^ tarning-lathe. The
tool is kept moist with oil and finely powdered diamond ; the stone to be
engraved is then held and guided bj the hand against it, while the rapidly
revolving motion of the tool, aided by the diamond dust, cuta into the stone
the desired figure. By this simple process, and which has undergone no
material change from the earliest periods, have been executed the finest
gems of antiquity, which still command the admiration of the moat refined
taste and judgment. Witiiin the last few years, metal Seals hare been en-
graved by the same means as gems, only dispensing with the oil and dia*
mond dust, and using steel tools having serrated or file-like edges. This
method, however, is &r from being generally practised, though there is
little doubt, when better known, it will be as generally used for the en-
graving of Metals as of Stones. The greater facility with which the rapidly
revolving tod is managed in the hand of the artist, gives a decided ad-
vantage over the older and ordinary method of cutting with chisels.

To complete these remarks, it seems necessary to notice very briefly
the' wax of which these impressions were formed, and the mode of appending
them to the instrument. The wax has varied much in colour during different
ages, green, white, or the natural colour of the wax, and red, have been used
indiscriminately, without being regulated by any particnhu* rule, except,
perhaps, the taste of the owner or the fitahion of the times. White, or the
natural colour of the wax, continued to be used for the Great Seals, and the
Burghs and Monasteries, at least for such as have a Ooonter Seal of the
same mxe ; but the green — in which colourthey look exceedingly beautiful —
went out of use after the fourteenth century, and the red predominated.

In the earliest periods the impressions have been most carefully made,
the wax being of one colour only, and without leaving any border round
the edge of the Seal ; but at a later period, it seems the impression was
first taken in coloured, and then imbedded in a mass of uncoloured wax,
forming in some instances a deep and broad border round the design. It is
surprising how very durable the wax has proved in many instances, pre-

xiii PREFACE.

Berring the original sharpness and beauty of the impression almost perfect
In the majority of cases, however, we have to lament not only the ravages
of time, but the still more &tal effects of carelessness.

The manner in which these Seals were appended to the document,
was by passing a narrow strip of parchment, or a silk cord phuted or
twisted, through a slit in the parchment document at the lower edge,
and the ends being held together, the wax was pressed or moulded round
them a short distance from the ends, and the Seal impressed on it, thus
securely appending it to the document. In some cases the wax was spread
on the document itself, and the Seal impressed. This however very rarely
occurs, and in almost all in this Collection the Seals are pendent

That this was t^e practice in early periods even among the Romans,
some evidence is afforded by a passage in the writings of the apostle Paul,*
where a figurative allusion ia made to a Seal having two distinct sentences,
which we may suppose to have been inscribed on each side of the Seal ; and
if this be a correct view of the apostle's illustration, it furnishes evidence both
of the Seal being pendent and having a Counter Seal.

All the Seals described in this Catalogue have been taken from original
documents preserved either in public archives or private collections, (a list
of these will be found at page zzv.) excepting those referred to as being at
Durham. To the rich collection there preserved the opportunity of gaining
access has not been afforded, and the few Seals in this Catalogue frt>m that
collection, and one irom the Duchy of Lancaster, are from casts communi-
cated by the Rev. J. H. Hughes, M.A.

It is believed that no work similar to the present has yet appeared ; and
if— though the result of many years' labour — it be not so complete as could be
wished, it is hoped it will be found to supply in some degree a want that has
long been felt by the zealous archfeologist The hope is also cherished, that
from the publicity now given to the subject and ite great importance as
illustrating early history, greater facihties will be afibrded for increasing
the collection, so that eventually, Scotland may possess a complete armory

PREFACE. xxiii

baaed exclusively npon Seals of an early date. Such a work would do much
to preserre heraldry in its legitiuiate purity. There caa be little doubt but
abuDdance of rich materials for such a work are in existence, and if the subject
be viewed in its proper Ught by our landed proprietors and chie& of ancient
fomiliea, it is hoped that in that spirit of Uberahty which is characteristic
of the age, every facility will be aEForded to explore the hidden treasures of
their charter-rooms, and bring to light much that may benefit the public,
and materially aid the labours of the historian.*

Zn conclusion, the writer of these remarks begs to state, that he has
taken every care to make the following work accurate and interesting^ but
quite sensible of his many disqualifications for the proper treatment of such
a subject, he is iar from suppodng it perfect, or that it will escape perhaps
merited censure ; he trusts, however, that no very serious errora will be fomid.
Id works of this kind, produced even uoder tfie most &TourabIe circum-
stances, it is almost impossible to avoid mistakes ; he therefore craves some
consideration. His labours are now concluded, and he sincerely hopes that
his humble efforts hitherto made amid many disadvantages, but in the spirit
of love for the work, will be found worthy the patronage which has been
bestowed ; and should it be the means of leading any one better qualified
than himself to treat the subject in that large and comprehensive manner it
deserves, he will be much gratified at having been instrumental in so doing.

It is now the pleasing duty of the writer gratefully to acknowledge the
&vour and encouragement he has received from numerous gentlemen, and
the willing and efficient aid rendered to the present work. To the Members
of the Bannatyne. Club in particular he is- much indebted, as without the
assistaace of that honourable body it would have been imposmble for him
to have produced the volume in the style in which it is now presented
to the Subscribers. His thanks are due to the authorities of the Segister

House, for access to t^e raluable collection of charters coDtained ther^;
to the Earl of Hortoa, the Marquess of Tweeddale, and other proprietors, for
the like &vour ; and in an especial manner is he indebted to the following
gentlemen, who hare ever shown a hrely interest in the work, and hare
willingly contributed much valuable information and assistance in forming
this Collection : — Lord Lindsay ; Sir Walter Calverly Trerelyan, Bart; P:
Chalmers, Esq., of Auldbar; Thomas Thomsrai, Esq., F.C.S.; Cosmo Innes,
Esq. ; W. B. D. D. TurnbuU, Esq. ; Alexander Macdonald, Esq. ; David I^ing,
Esq. ; Albert Way, Esq. ; Geoi^ Seton, Esq. ; William Fraser, Esq. ; and the
Kev. James Henry Hughes, M.A., late fellow of Magdalen CoU^^ Oxford,
Chaplain H.E.I.C.S., whose extensive knowledge of heraldry and geneak^
has proved a source of great assistance during the period which his more
important duties in a distant country allowed him to remain in Edinbuigh.

The name of the late G^i^ Smythe, Esq., younger of Methven, should
be included among those to whom the author is much indebted for many
valuable additions at an early period of the formation of this Collection,
and whose premature removal from a sphere of usefiilness is justly
lamented by all who had the happiness of knowing him.

To the Uberality of C. E. Shtwpe, Esq. ; W. W. Hay Newton, Esq. ; and
James Gibson Cnug, Esq. ; he is indebted for three plates which illustrate
the volume, in addition to those contributed by the Bannatyne Club.

He has to acknowledge the kindness of Henry Drummond, Esq., M.P.,
in permitting the use of some woodcuts which had been engraved' for illus-
trating his work of the " History of Noble British Families."

To Mark N^ier, Esq., he is also indebted for the woodcuts of the
Seals of the NapJers.

To these gentlemen, and to all who have encouraged the writer in the
present undertaking, he returns his sincere thanks, in the hope that the
manner in which he has performed his task will give satisfaction to those
whose approbation he will ^iteem as his best reward.

trellised hauberk which extends to the knees, the legs protected b; the same
kind of Brmovr. A conical-shaped helmet or chapelle-de-fer with nasal, over
the C(Mf-de-mail]es, protects his head. In his right hand be balds a lance with
a pennon of two points, and in the left a kite-shaped shield. The saddle is large,
and secured onlj bj the breast leather, quite plain and corcred hy a long
narrow doth. The inscription is lost, except the letters —

sitting on a throne or rather stool of stale ; the legs terminadng in eagle's
claws. He has a crown apon bis head, and seems vested in state robes ; bat
in place of the cloak iaatened on the breast, worn by his snccessor, (Alexander

3. ALEXANDER I. a.d. 1107— 1124.

Hus seal is partly broken. The King on honeback holding a gonfanon with
three points in his right hand, and in his left a kite-shaped shield, as in tit»
seal of Dnocan, and in both oases it is the inside of the shield that is seen.
He wears a hauberk of flat rings, fitting close to the bod; with a skirt, below
which is seen the quilted tunic. The sleeves are wide and leave the hands
uncovered. The hood, or Coif-de-mailles, is attached to the hauberk, and thrown
back from the bee ; and above the hood is a chapelle-de-fer, with nasaL The
legs and feet are protected by chaoses of ring-mtul, and from the heel projects
the simple prick-spur. The breast leather securing the saddle is more orna-
mented than that of Duncan's.

i. CooKTZs SsAi. 6f the last.

The King sitting on a chair of state, vested in royal robes. The cloak, richly em-
brmdered, thrown over his shoulders and fiutened on the breast. Both arms
extended ; in his right he. holds a sword, and in the left a globe surmounted
with a cross. It does not seem as if he had a crown upon his head, but rather
a dose fitting cap. Under each hand, on the field of the seal, is a roundle
charged with some indistinct figure.

" als[x}ahdkb [dbo b]kc[tobx e]C0TiOBij[ii].'' — Durham Cathedrai. c. a.d, 1112.

5. DAVID I AjK 1134—1153.

Although this is merely a fragment, it is, perhaps, more endre than any seal of
David now remaining in Scotland. The dengn both of this and the counter
seal following is precisely the same as that of Alexander, No. 3. Only the last
letter [h] of the inscription remuns, but there can be no doubt it was —

" DATID DEO BECTOBX BXX BCOTTORCX."

9. WILLIAM THE Lion. a.d. 11 66— 12 H.

This seal is often met with pretty entire ; the execution of the design does not shew
any advance in the art. The fijng on horseback at gallop, with a lance and
pennon of three points in his right hand, and in his left a ehield difieriug
materially in shape and position from those previously described. In this
Instance the shield is very convex, and neariy approsches to the elegant
heater shape. The position of the shield suspended in front of the body by the
guige allows a great part of the exterior to be seen, and on this was sub-
sequently depicted the armorial bearings of the owner of the seal. On this
shield, however, nothing is represented, it is quite pl^n, except a little above
the middle there is a projecting point, (the bos t) Though not very distinct, the
£ing seems armed in a similar manner to Alexander, bat the sleeves fitting
dose, probably covering the hnnds. The sword-sheath ii seen hanging from
the left side of the saddle, and is the only instance where it has been repre-
sented. Hic breast leather and saddle are without any ornament.

ment in the art. The King is represented on horseback similar to the preceding .
Kings, but differing from them in holding a drawn sword in his right hand, in-
stead of the lance with its pennon which had been invariably represented
during the previous century. Suspended in front of the body by the gnige,

sented the lion nunpant, with apparent remains of the double tressure fleur-de-

helmet is now cjliadrical, and nearly square at the top, with ^eimportant ad-
dition of a lower piece, the aventaile protecting the face. The spur is the
lance head Eongle point The breast leather of the horse is decorated witli
tassels, and on theback part of the saddle-cloth is embroidered the lion rampant,

This is precisely the same design as that of William the lion. No. 6, but executed in a
superior style, the throne or sti>ol of state more richly ornamented, and on each

the Passion cross.

13. ALEXANDER in. a.d. 1241)— 1285.

This richly designed seal, as well as the following Privy Seal of the same King,
executed with great spirit and truth in all its details, is an interesting proof o
the advanced state of the Arts at that period. The King, on horseback, at
tiill speed, is completely armed in chain-mail, which appears to be continued,
without a shirt, over the legs and feet. Above the mall he wears a surcoat,
and on his head a cylindrical helmet, with horizontal opening, square topped ;
from the centre rises a plume of feathers, in his right hand is a sword ; and tn
front, suspended by the guige ornamented, is a shield, with the arms of Scot-
land, which are repeated on the long-flowing caparisons of the horse. On
this seal first appear the girths securing the saddle. About a third part of the
reins next the bit is formed of chain. The head of the horse is decorated with
H plume of feathers. The background is ornamented with trefoils.

moveable visor, perforated for the admission of air ; on the helmet is a crown
of three strawberry leaves. The caparisons of the horse, embroidered with the

Nearly the same derign as in the seals of former Kings, the principal variation
being the introduction of a foreground on which the horse is golloping, and
which de«gn continued for the following two centuries, when it was changed by
adorning it and the background with a landscape, as will be noticed afterwards.
There is also a change in iho armour of the King, which is now of plate,
mixed with banded ring-mail. The sleeves of the hauberk descend but a little
below the elbow, the ibre-arm being protected hy vsmbroces, and the hands by
gauntlets of plate. In place of the loose flowing surcoat, the jupon is now
worn over the hauberk, fitting close to the body, and embroidered with the
arms of Scotland, the lower part finished with ornamental fringe. The helmet

Morion Charters.

It has been generally stated that the Great Seal used by the first four Jameses was
the same, aod that there was no new Great Seal mi the Ttiga of James V.
This may be partly correct; bot it has hitherto esc^ted observation that
certain distinctive markB, the annulets, &c, were eupenidded by James IL
James HI. continned to use the same seal with the addition of a fleur-de-lis ; and
James IV. changed the auoulet for a trefoil, as noticed above. Anderson, in
the D^lomata Scottae, gives four plates of the seal of the second James, with
most of its distinctive marlcs, ascribing it respectively to each of the first four
kings of that name.

66. MAHT.

A beautiful smtdl Signet of Queen Hary, the original of which, on enamelled ring
of exqniaita workmandiip, is in the cabinet of Richard Greene, Esq., F.S.A.,
lichfield. The arme of Scotland. Crest on a helmet, with mantlings, and en-
Bigned with a crown, a lion e^ant affirante crowned, holding in his dexter paw
a naked sword, and in the einister a sceptre, both bendwise. Above the
crest the motto " di depemk." The shield surrounded bj the Collar of the
I Thistle, having the badge suspended. Supporters ; two unicorns chained and

gorged with open crowns. On dexter, a banner charged with the arms of
Scotland, and on mnister, another bearing a saltire, or rather a feas sur-
mounted by a saltire. At the side of crest the letters M. B. This is engraved
in Astle's Account of the Seals of the Kings of Scotland, VUu^a MonumtrUa,
vol. ill., plate xxvi.; and be states tbat the original was at that time in the
royal collection at the Queen's house. Subsequently it was in that of the late
Duke of York, at the sale of whose valuable collection in 1827, it was pur-
chased by the present possessor.

67. JAMES VI. A.D. 1567—1625.

A fine seal in excellent preservation. The King mounted, his horse galloping.
His armour is enriched with fluting and engraving, which gave such a splendid
character to the armonr of the sixteenth century. The additional pieces intro-
duced during that period are well and elegantly executed. The cuirass, rather
globular in form, finished with the ridge called the tapul in front ; the panldrons
with passe-gardes, the large elbow-pieces, the genouitli^res, with plates to
protect the joint behind ; the lamboys, (which seem not to be of plate, bnt of
some Gtifi'&bric, forming a skirt,) extending from the waist to the knee ; the
helmet with viaor thrown back, and decorated with a plnme, are all well ex-
pressed, and deserving attention. The caparisons of the horse are also very
elegantiy embroidered, the fore-part with a thistle, and the hinder with the
arms of Scotland on a shield, surmounted with a crown. The head is deco-
rated with a plnrne, and in the front is the testiere. The background of the
seal is ornamented with foliage.

" JACOBUS 6EXTUB DKI GEATll. B£X SCOTOBUU."
G8. COUHTEH SeU-L of the LAST,

Yety nearly the same design as the Signet of Queen Mary, No. 66 ; there is a slight
difierence in the crest, the lion holding the sword and sceptre erect, and with
hie paws extended. The motto, "iH defemb," is on a scroll. The dexter

70. ANNE OF DENMARK, Qukek of Jaueb VI., Aim Ladt of Dcmfrbmun. Mar-

ried A.J>. 1589; died a.d. 1619.
A lai^ seal. Per pale, dexter, the arms of Scotland ; Biuister, quarterlj ; first,
three liona passant gardant in pale for Denmark; second, a lion rampant
crowned, h<Ming in his paws a battle-axe for Norway ; third, three crowns
for Sweden ; fourth, tamk of hearts, a lion passant for Gothland ; over all a
cross; on a base a fljing dragon. On a surtout quarterly; first, two lions
paasant for Sleswicfct second, a nettle leaf for Holslcin; third, a cygnet
g<n^d with a crown for Stormash ; fourth, an armed knight for Ditmarsh ;
over all a shield, per pale; dexter, a cross patt^ for Oldenbarg; sinister,
two bars for Ddmenhorst in Westphalia. Above the shield an imperial
crown. Supporters : dexter, a unicorn chained and gorged with a crown ;
■inigter, a savage wreathed about the middle, holding in his left band a club
erect.

" eiQIU[ciI AHNE] DEI ORATIA SCOIOBQU BBQIKf."

The dragon has been always the Danish supporter. Why die savage is here taken
is not very clear. There is an old stone, much worn, built into a doorway of
the ruins of the Abbey of Dunfermline, on which are the arms of Scotland im-
paled with those of Denmark, and the supporter is there a dragon. It has
probably been part of the palace of Qneen Anne in Duufermline, which was
pulled down the latter end of the last century.

71. CoDlfTBB SeAI. of THE LAST.

A cross flory between five martlets. Above the shield, an open crown of five
points, lilies and pearls alternately. At the udes of the shield a crown above
a thistle.

mmilar, bat exhibiting chaagea in the armour, indicating ita gmdual disuBe.
The plate is quite plain, and coneists of the cuinus, leee globular than that of
James VL, bnt rirang to a ridge in front, protecting the upper part of the
body, and the tacee of three lames, the lower from the waiat to the thighs,
which latter are prot«cted bj similar lames or plates lapping orer each other
Lorizontally. Thelegsare without armoar of any kind, having the thick jack-
boot, which now began to ■upei^ede the ancient jamberta. lite right arm,
holding a sword, has the vamhrace. elbow-piece, and gauntlet The face and
neck are quite unprotected; and on the head is an arched crown. The capari-
sons of the horse, much reduced in their dimendons, covering only the body,
are richly embroidered with a thistle on the fore-part, and a rose on the
hinder. The foreground is disposed as a landscape, representing Edinburgh,
but not correctly. Over the horse's head is a fleur-de-lis, and behind the King
is a portcullis.

73. ComrcEs Seal of the iabi.

A shield qnarterly ; first and fourth, Scotland ; second, England and France
quarterly; third, Ireland. Above the shield the imperial crown, and sus-
pended from it the collar and badge of the Thistle, and tlie Garter, inscribed
witli the motto of the order. Two banners in ealtire behind the shield ; the
dexter charged with a aaltjre, the sinister with a St. George's cross. Sup-
porters ; dexter, a nnicom with imperial crown, chained and gorged with a

The Sng on horseback, at full gallop, (towards the dexter,) in complete armour of
plate ; the helmet, with visor open, adorned with the plume ; in his right
hand a sword, and on his left a shield of an oval shape, probably charged with
the royal arms, but is injured on this part. The horse without any caparison,
except an ornamented saddle-cloth. In the foreground is a very interesting
view of Edinbni^h from the north, with Arthur's Seat and the Fentlands in
the distance. On the right is the GasUe on its rocky eminence, and near to

also, and we see the long line of the High Street, from the CoBtle-hill, ter-
minating in the gardens sarronnding the palace of Holjrood, which is repre-
sented in the plain at the left of the Seal. In the walla are seen two porte,
which are probably intended for the " Water Yet," or Leith Wjnd, and the
andent gate at the foot of Leith Wynd, oaUed St. Andrew's Fort. In the
for^roond of this is a building which, from its poiition, we may suppose was
meant for the Cc^egiate Church of the Holy Trittity.

77. OLIVER CROJffWELL. a.d. 1653—1658.

The dengn and style of this differs in many particulars from any of the preceding
Great Seals. The horse now proceeds towards tlie dexter at a gentle pace,
instead of full gallop, as the former, and is quite onadomed with any costly
caparisons. The Protector, armed In plate, except his head, which is un-
covered ; a scarf over his right shoulder, and his sword hanging from the
left nde ; holds a baton, resting on tlie saddle, in his right hand ; the left
engaged wiUi the reins. On sinister side of the seal is a shield, charged with a
saltire, surmounted with an escutcheon, bearing the lion rampant for Crom-

From the origmal brass seal, in possession of Lady Jan« Hamilbm. It iras found
at the latter end of last century near the church of Nortii Berwick, and is a
well executed design, probably abont the middle of the fbnrleentli century. It
may have been the seal of William seventh Lord Douglas, or William the

by the artist's ignorance of heraldry ; yet the workmanship shews care and
skill.

It would be impn^ier to pass these fine seals of the Douglases without recommend-

of medinral art. llieee desaiptions convey a very imperfect idea of the beauty
of thar demgns, and the goieral excellence of their execution. In filling
an important duipter of Scottish henldi;, they fbmish at the aune time
perh^n the best eridenee of the state of art of tbdr periods, and no gmall

Equally interesting. Unfortunately the impression is very imperfect; but it has

right hand, leaning against a pillar, and with his left hand holding his btvse.

A fine large seal, not heraldic, bnt an ornamental design of foliage and ears of some
kind of grain, (vetchesT) and a peacock on each ude. In the centre, at the
top of the seal, is an impression from a small antique gem, the design being a
galley soling and two doiphins. This gem was probably set in a ring, and
worn on the finger, and lias been impressed after the la^er one was made;
wliile tbe wax was yet warm.

An antique gem, apparently set in a locket, on which is engraved a scroll ornament
and the inscription. The gem in the centre is an engraving of an antelope or
goat, and baa Uie character of Persian work. From the convexity of the sur-
face, the original has probably been ruby, or some other transparent gem. It
is quite evident from the impression of tbe plain ring at tbe top of the seal,
that it has tieen worn as a locket, as well as used for a seal.

This seal is unfortanately in very imperfect preeervation ; the design, however, is
quite distinct, being a figure of St. Andrew extended on the cross. On the
dexter side ia a mullet and a fish with a ring in its mouth ; on the sinister side
is a dexter hand issuing irom the border of the seal, pointing downwards ; below
the hand is a crescent and a bird, the whole beneath a plain Gothiccanopy; in
the base point of the seal is a half-length figure of a Bishop praying. From
what remains of the inscription it appears to have been —

" 8 ' WILL. DB LAHBRBTON EFI. SCTI. ANDBXZ."

Tite fish, with ring in its month, and the bird, are no doubt intended to indicate

A veiy fine design, and in most «xc«Uent preaervation. Id the upper part of the

ceding seals. Below this are three Gothic canopies, sapported by spiral
colamns. Beneath the centre one is a figure of St. Andrew, and beneath the

is a figore of a Bishop^ crowned with the nimbna, mitred and robed, his rig^t
hand raised giving the benediction, his left holding a crorier. At the right
ride of his head is a dove descending, indicating the inspiraUon of the
Holy Sinrit. All the canopies are richly ornamented with pionaclee and
crocketing. In the lower part of the seal are three plain arched niches ; in the

martyrdom of St. Thomas k Becket at Canterbury, A^. 1 170. St. Thomas is
kneeling before the steps of an altar, at the side of which a priest is standing
holding a pasuon cross. The four conspirators are behind the martyr, and
the sword of the second descends on his head with snch violence that the sword
breaks, and part iklla on the steps of the altar. The third flgore is taming to
converse with the one behind. All the fbor are armed in masded annonr,
with aurcoats, but only three have helmets. The shield of the first figure is
chai^;ed with a bear rampant, the second with two bends, thus identifying the
"figures with Fitsurse and Tracy ; the pontion of the sword in the hand of the
third figure hides the chai^ on hia shield ; but on that of the fourth figure »
bordure is quite apparent. The whole is represented ander three arches, Etota

The form of the letters, as well aa the execution of the derign of this Counter

which is probably as early as the fourteenth century, when the art was ia the

may be doubted if it was ever really the seal of the burgh,— it locJcB more like
